If it's a aftermarket fan/cooler, go to their website.

Generally, they don't have extreme ranges. If it's running at 2KRPM, then it probably maxes out at 3K. If it's running at 4KRPM, then maybe 5KRPM. You can also look at the label on the fan, it may tell you the speed range. Or if there is a part number and manufacturers name, check the fan manufacturers site.

If it's controlled by the motherboard, you can disable the software control and it should run at max. If it's internally controlled, do some heavy encoding and see what it goes up to. Run your CPU at 100% for a half hour, that should max it out. Most encoding is at 100% CPU. (As measured by Task Manager in XP.)
